This looks like a book with a great deal of potential. Here's the blurb:

Quote:

We all know greens are good for you but who would have thought they could be so much fun?

Greens 24:7 shows you how, with over 100 recipes for using 43 different types of greens for every meal of the day. From breakfasts on the go like the Elvis Romaine Roll, to Kale Pesto Canapes as an appetizer or snack, to Chocolate Hazelnut Avocado Torte for dessert, readers will find motivating, innovative recipes that pack a serious nutritional punch.

The protein one also looks good. I am really trying to get my protein up. Not that I am wasting away on rabbit food (haha) but I am exercising a lot and with weights. I really need to get more protein in my meals (like 125g+ per day), not just with shakes and stuff.

I have heard so much mixed nutritional advice about protein that I'm confused about what the ideal amount is. I've heard more than once that a lot of protein can cause calcium depletion, so I hope the high protein cookbook takes that into account and that the recipes are calcium rich, as well.

This used to be what nutritionists thought, but more recent research shows that it's not true.

I saw that Ann Gentry of Real Food Daily is coming out with an updated and paperback edition of Vegan Family Meals, called Real Food for Everyone.

I feel like I just got Vegan Family Meals though I guess it's been three years. Still, it makes me want the updated version instead of the one I have, and I'm annoyed that it's coming out this soon after the original. I'm also not crazy about the title change. How will people know it's the same book if they don't read the book description carefully? They could end up purchasing it by mistake.

This is the kind of thing that happens when a book doesn't sell as well as expected and the publisher tries to rebrand it. They're taking it from a limited audience (vegan families) to a bigger audience (the real food movement and "everyone").

Yes, they did something like that with "Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites" too. I hope they're not shredding a pile of printed unsold copies of these books' first editions.

I think the title comes from the name of Gentry's restaurant, Real Food Daily. It's also a more appropriate title than Vegan Family Meals because the recipes aren't so simple so as to be ideal for busy parents cooking on weeknights.

I don't like rebranding though. I got excited that she had a new book out and was disappointed to realize it's one I already have. But what's worse is that someone could purchase it and only then come to the same realization.

Isa's working on an entertaining book, but I don't think it has a name or release date yet.

Thanks, that's good to know. I'm looking forward to it! Where did you hear about it? I looked through the home page links but didn't see anything listed in the obvious places (Books, FAQ), and I didn't want people to think I was overlooking her.

I'm testing.

so another one I'll need to buy... I'm sad for my overflowing bookshelf while excited at the same time.

I used to be a huge fan of physical cookbooks, but with so many awesome vegan cookbooks coming out and so little bookshelf space, I've started buying everything as e-books. I make exception for ridiculously beautiful cookbooks (ie Isa Does It, Afro-Vegan, Oh She Glows), but this approach is a lot easier on my tiny apt.

I have the same approach. Ebooks are a huge space saver and are often priced more reasonably too. The only downsides (1) taking the ebook reader into the kitchen where it can get splattered with food and (2) this makes it much too easy to buy too many!

i'm interested in it for just one recipe--- a feta with brine that gets better with time. i have my own feta that i think is respectable, but it could always be improved on...

to be clear- i'm not a cheerleader for the artisan vegan cheese book; i've made a few of the things in the book and they were good/edible but not great. that said, i'm not inclined to discount the effort because to me making good vegan cheese is a new frontier; and at least schinner is pointing out the techniques that *can* be used to make cheese...and that's nothing to be sniffed at...

and in less than 72 hours i'll be attempting gluten free seitan for an ethiopian dish : )
